The global properties for Change bars are found in the Format > Document > Change Bars... menu option (or <esc> o b keyboard shortcut).

The property that you need to change is Position:

Depending upon which of the right or left margins is larger, you'll need to set this to "Side Closer to Page Edge" or "Side Farther..." to position the bars to the outside edges of the respective pages. If you have a symmetric layout, then "Closer" places on the left side (of all pages) and "Farther" places on the right.

However, if you have multiple columns, the change bars will appear between the columns and will shift depending upon which page edge is closer, i.e. the middle columns may be left or right on any given page.

As stated previously, the change bar location can be adjusted only as function of the size of the margin. If you have a double-sided page layout, then have the left/right margins at different sizes and use the Side Closer or Side Farther to get your alternating pattern, depending upon which margin is larger.
